The outstanding precision and reliability of Voith torque limiting couplings ensures smooth operation and less wear and tear – during the entire life span of your driveline.
Drivelines in rotating equipment are long term investments, worth protecting. Every minute of unplanned downtime caused by overload, is a loss in production. Voith torque limiting couplings secure your driveline against torque over-loads. Your equipment can safely operate at a maximum level and with the Voith coupling monitoring system you will get instant feedback of overload situations. This makes a difference to your overall economy.
Protect Your Driveline and Maximize Production For Years to Come

Our extensive industry application knowledge helps your equipment achieve its highest performance level.
Optimizing Your Driveline
Based on the unique requirements of each specific applica-tion, our team of specialists take care of the whole process, to find the optimal torque limiting solution for the driveline intended.
Our engineers use their extensive knowledge and system expertise to optimize your driveline. During the design stage Voith performs advanced driveline analysis, to evaluate the
dynamic torque response. Specialist technicians can use this data to position the torque limiting coupling in the optimal location.
To ensure your equipment reaches its maximum potential, a preset torque level is set once the coupling is in place. This gives the driveline maximum protection and enables a higher production level.

Benefits

OperationThe SafeSet principle is simple: friction and adaptability. No material fatigue or wear ensures constant torque protection during operation. The SafeSet coupling includes a twin-walled hollow sleeve. Friction is generated upon expansion by pressurized hydraulic oil. The integrated shear tube holds pressure to ensure a constant but easy adaptable torque transmission. In an overload situation the SafeSet slips and the shear tube shears off. Oil pressure drops and the frictional surfaces separate. Then the SafeSet rotates on the bearings without transmitting any torque.
Torque capacity available between 1 and 20 000 kNm.

SlipSet – With Controlled SlipSlipSet ensures continuous production and is designed to slip in the event of an overload situation. By acting as a shock absorber in drives with frequent torque peaks, the SlipSet prevents time consuming downtime due to repair work. The SlipSet units are very compact and can be installed in areas with a minimum of space, to ensure the most optimal position in a drive line.
OperationIn the event of an torque overload, the SlipSet will instantly slip and limit the torque to the preset level, protecting the driveline. If the blockage is temporary, for example due to inertia effects, the SlipSet slips until the torque peak has passed and the driveline doesn’t have to be stopped.
If the over load persists, the Voith Coupling Monitoring System detects the slippage and informs the operator that the drive train power needs to be adjusted.

OperationSmartSet is based on the same technolgy as the SafeSet coupling, but it is equipped with a SmartSet device that will give the coupling an additional slip feature. This centrifugal device is activated by the rotational speed of the intended application. This enables the coupling to slip without release during high transient torques, that are an inherent part of many applications with synchronous motors.
If the torque peak is of long duration in an overload situation, the SmartSet coupling can fully release as a normal SafeSet coupling and subsequently save the drive train from catastro-phic failure.
Torque capacity available between 10 to 10 000 kNm.

AutoSet – Process Improving Couplingwith Controlled Slip and Automatic ResetThe AutoSet is a torque limiting coupling with a slip function and automatic reset to enhance performance. The primary function of the AutoSet is to distribute torque smoothly by small controlled slippage. As a secondary function the AutoSet will release entirely at torque peaks of long duration and protect drive line equipment from catastrophic failure. This mode will occure successively at slip angles between 30-180 degrees. It is completely automatic and the self-reset function maximizes production uptime.
The AutoSet friction grip is created by a hydraulically adjustable tapered sleeve that generates the preset torque
level. If the set torque is exceeded, the coupling slips and limits the torque with an accuracy of +-10% during standard performance.
After release the coupling automatically resets itself to the full preset torque level and no manual handling is needed. This avoids lengthy stoppages in production.
Torque capacity available between 0.41 to 275 kNm.

Shear tubes
Shear tubesDepending on the size of the coupling and its application, the coupling could have between 1 to 12 shear tubes of a suitab-le size installed.
Shear tubes with extended heads are also available (VK model) for couplings where external release capability is required such as engine test benches.
Electronic release indicator Torque limiting couplings can be equipped with an electronic release indicator, which indicates when the coupling has re-leased.
By measuring the input and output speed with proximity sen-sors, the speed difference can be monitored. During a release the speeds will no longer be synchronous. The indicator recognizes this and triggers an alarm to warn the machine operators.
In cases where the speed differential can not be measured the coupling can be equipped with a mechanical visual release indicator.
